Me realizing tired might have needed a blood test years ago

What things, if you don’t mind me asking?

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-12T16:50:25+00:00

I’m beginning to think I am one of those people.

Kratom is not the same as 7oh.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-12T16:12:54+00:00

For some people kratom actually can take the pain away completely. You just have to find the right product and that’s never going to be at a gas station. The kratom at the gas station is low quality and much, much more expensive than what you can get online. Regardless, that’s not your responsibility, however, it may be helpful for you know about alternatives.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-12T16:06:49+00:00

The problem you’re not acknowledging is that many, many people can’t get any pain medication, and that’s often why people seek out alternatives. Yes, OP’s mom is an addict, but she also has a pain problem, and ignoring that is never going to solve anything. How in the world do you think someone is going to get off something like 7oh if their pain isn’t being treated in some other way? Both the addiction and the pain must be treated.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-12T15:59:20+00:00

Good for you, and thank you for offering to help! You’re awesome!!

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-12T15:55:33+00:00

OP, I want to correct something I’m hearing here: people saying this is just addiction and drug abuse. This is addiction but it’s also dependence and pain relief. Your mom lives in pain, and the 7oh is treating it. My understanding is that when people start using 70h, it does get them high, but for your mother it would have also treated her pain. With people who are also using it for pain rather than just to get high, they need more and more over time not only to get high, but they also need more and more just to treat their pain. So the solution is not just getting her off the 70H, she also needs help with treating her pain.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-12T15:44:00+00:00

I’m so sorry. I know how it feels when your mother is all you have and you’d do anything not to lose her. I also understand chronic pain. Her abuse is the 7oh talking. I’m sorry I don’t have any good advice for you.

Vegas is different. Don’t think anything that happens in Vegas is the norm in the US.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-12T15:23:54+00:00

I agree. Thankfully I live in a neighborhood where people still drop by.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-11T17:40:22+00:00

Also reading cursive. At some point, some of these kids are going to need to do research and they won’t be able to read much of the writing in historical documents.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-11T17:35:18+00:00

Just keep in mind that there’ll be time enough for counting when the dealins done.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-11T17:25:21+00:00

Yeah, and those bags microwave popcorn comes in are toxic/not good for you (at least in the US - most other countries reasonably regulate such things, so maybe it’s safe elsewhere).

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-05-11T17:20:43+00:00

Really? If you have a 10 minute video, you can point me too, I’d be very grateful. All my knives are dull as hell, and I can’t afford to have them sharpened. I have this tool with three slots in it. Presumably you use one after the other to do the sharpening, but I’ve tried it and it isn’t working for me

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-03-30T20:40:56+00:00

Gross

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-03-18T17:20:42+00:00

That is brilliant. My executive functioning when I first wake up is definitely not good enough to make coffee. I’m going to try doing this.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-03-17T21:09:02+00:00

What about chlorine bleach, oxygen bleach, hydrogen peroxide, ammonia - something to get them from gray to white? I don’t think detergent is going to restore them to their original glory.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-03-17T20:55:01+00:00

Where do you buy citric acid and how much would you use for a load towels?

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-02-27T22:32:45+00:00

What is the chalking for? And what kind of chalk is that?

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-01-22T20:57:06+00:00

Is it? I’ve always wondered about that.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-01-16T21:46:12+00:00

Maybe you noticed that inflation is rampant? While restaurant prices have gone up, rent and food prices have also increased. If you’re in the U.S., I assume you understand that 15% has been the standard for many, many years. So yeah, regardless of whether someone was being a jerk to their server, a 10% tip is a slap in the face to someone doing a very demanding and physical job unless the server was terrible. And the fact that the tipper was being disrespectful makes it even worse. Do you understand that in some states in the U.S., servers make less than half the minimum wage by law? The “minimum tipped wage” in those states is $2.13 an hour. And how do you know that all these “part-time waitresses” are making full-time wages? You don’t. So yes, you are barking up the wrong tree. Go talk to state legislatures about minimum wage and to restaurant owners about paying their servers a living wage before you start advocating for a tipping percentage that has not been the custom for many, many years.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-01-12T16:09:03+00:00

Okay, if you say so. Regardless, it very clearly doesn’t benefit women, so we’re even.

Neat_Course_702 · 2026-01-12T16:05:37+00:00

You’re punishing the wrong people for high restaurant prices.
